Gypsy Hill Park

Gypsy Hill Park is a recreational park situated in the center of Staunton, Virginia, United States, where Churchville Avenue (off of route 250) and Thornrose Avenue intersect. The park contains various public services and attractions, including football and baseball fields, the Thomas D. Howie Memorial National Guard Armory,[1] a large bandstand pavilion, a golf course, a basketball court, a gym, and the central duck pond equipped with food dispensers, allowing visitors to feed the ducks and fish. Throughout the park are picnic tables, grills and covered pavilions. Constitution Drive, an almost 1+1⁄2-mile-long (2.4 km) road, runs through the park and is often used as a walking and bike path.[2]

The miniature train, the Gypsy Express, began in 1958. The train operates passengers from May to October. Tickets cost one dollar.

Presently, the train is maintained and operated by volunteers. Unique to the Gypsy Express is an Easy Access Car designed and built by volunteers to accommodate handicapped riders. A documentary recounts the history of the train. [3]
